30 Questions

While on Pinterest 

a couple of days ago I stumbled upon what I thought to be a 

gem, especially for posterity. 

It is a site that has thirty questions to answer and 

record for future kiddos. 

I thought it was pretty cool and there are actually some 

pretty good questions on 

there. 

Normally I don't like doing things like this, but I thought 

"Hey, what the heck?" haha. 

I don't think I will do all of the questions [at least not now] because there are so many 

and some are very in depth. 

So here we go... let's haaaave some fuuun!

1) List 20 random facts about yourself. 

1. I broke my wrist in 7th grade

2. When I was 10 I would write my own songs

3. There is a tiny part of me that wants to be an actress

4. I have lived in 5 different states

5. Every time I cut my toenails I get an ingrown toenail [haha]

6. I am very indecisive 

7. I can get intimidated easily [even by little kids, it's weird]

8. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up

9. Cereal is my weakness

10. I didn't stop peeing in my pants until 3rd grade :)

11. I worry and stress way too much

12. I cannot be held responsible for my actions after 11:00 pm [I get crazy loopy]

13. My favorite color is purple, sometimes 

14. I'm not as good at video games as I'd like to think I am

15. The feature I like the best is my eyes, especially when the sun hits them 

16. I was a nail biter [kicked the habit long ago] 

17. I cannot wait to be a mom

18. I have a very very ridiculous fear of sharks 

19. I am extremely picky about jewelry and therefore hate receiving it as a gift

20. I am a Mormon [that's the best fact :)] 

I hope you enjoyed the facts and maybe you learned something new about me, haha :) 

I think I will just leave it

at question one for today because it was so long. 

Happy November! 

Remember to count your blessings.

Playing on the Vacay

Just got back last week from a lovely

family vacation/reunion in 

Portland Oregon.

It was so great to see my siblings again

and my cutie pie niece. 

I love it when 

our family gets together for however long or short a time.

It's so refreshing to me. 

We had a great time exploring Oregon 

and making more fun 

family memories. 

And Oregon is so beautiful, it was easy to 

feel relaxed during our stay.

There is nothing more important to me than my family. 

I feel so blessed to have each of 

them in my life. I had so much 

fun being with them 

for an entire week! Can't wait til the next 

family vacay :)

Kicks & Giggles

So Friday morning I got my wisdom teeth taken out. 

Boy oh boy was I loopy. 

I don't remember half the things I said or what was going through my mind at the time, 

but my mom managed to get most of it on tape. 

Haha. I had a good laugh 

when I went back and watched after I wasn't 

so drugged up ;)

The first two minutes are a little slow, but it gets better. 

I know the video is pretty long, like 

25 minutes, 

but I think it's worth it. Haha. 

I hope you enjoy some 

kicks & giggles. 

Disclaimer: I have no idea why I talk about kissing so much. haha :) 

anyway, enjoy the film. 

the essence of NYC

This is just a little video I made while I was in NYC. 

I thought it would be fun 

to create a montage of the city sights and my travels.

A Trip to the Big City

It all started with one simple thought. It was a spur of the moment idea really. 

My sister and her husband live in New York City, 

but they are moving to London soon! 

So I thought, hey I really want to go see them in the Big City one last time.

I had gone to NYC once before a couple of summers 

ago, and have always wanted to go back.

So it was the last month of Spring semester at BYU-I and I was just toying with the idea of going. 

I looked up plane tickets just for fun and 

surprisingly found some very cheap tickets for this summer. 

What started out as just wishful thinking, turned out to be a reality. I bought the tickets and 

eagerly awaited my trip to the City that never sleeps. 

Seeing my sister and brother-in-law was so nice. It was great being with them for a week

and also getting to enjoy a good stay in NYC, 

exploring the city on my own, and having a relaxing trip. I had a really great time. 

There is just something about traveling and 

seeing new things and places, (and in my case being able to see my siblings) that is so 

exhilarating. 

It was a trip that I made just for me. :)

Here are some pics :

If you ever get the chance to treat yourself with a trip

do it. 

Just take some time for yourself, no matter where it is you go, what or who you see. 

Give yourself an adventure.

Closing Time

I cannot believe this semester is over. 

I can't believe that my freshman year of college is over. 

Life is a crazy thing. 

If I could look forward in time from last fall to where I am now

I would not believe 

where I have ended up. 

I have had so much fun. It has been a whole new road of

self discovery and adventure. 

Before coming up to BYUI I really felt that it was the place for me. 

But it wasn't until I came up 

here and spent two 

semesters here that I truly realized that this is really 

where I am supposed to be in 

my life right now. 

It feels like home. And I am sad to leave it.
It is very bittersweet. 

But all good things must come

to an end. 

Besides, I'll be back up here in no time!

My roommate Alexa. I love her!!!!

Messy twister date :)
